Life has been easy for Zoe. She names it, she gets it. Clothes? Done. Shoes? Done. But things that matter like freedom? Nah-uh. So when she sees an opportunity to leave the country and fly to Japan as an exchange student, she instantly grabs it, leaving her best friend and maybe-boyfriend behind. And then on her first day, Kaito, a Filipino-Japanese student, comes into Zoe's life and offers his friendship. He lives in the building next to hers, and despite having opposite personalities, they just click. Small talks turn into deeper conversations, and beneath the enchanting cherry blossom trees lining the streets of Mitaka, Kaito and Zoe discover a bond that transcends any they've experienced before.
